Why isnt the object considered a part?

I made this pin and want to cut a section out to make it 'pinchable'
But I cant cut it out as it throws me the error "No merge scope"
Which is as I asume from the fact that onshape doesn't consider any parts are in the project yet, it only lists one surface.
To me the part is fully closed off.
I used the revolve function and even went back in the drawing to make the end and finish point vertical
I had other timed today where onshape just woundt work with me at some times, and I'm slowly going mad now

Your revolve is set to surface not solid.

You used Surface instead of Solid for your revolve. Yes, the surface fully encloses a region, but you explicitly selected Surface so Onshape gave you a surface. Use Enclose to turn the surface into a part or use Solid instead of Surface.
